HOSE-NOZZLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 3, 1915.

Application filed December 30, 1814. Serial No. 879,678.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES G. SCHMIDT, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at St. Jacob, in the county of Madison and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hose- Nozzles, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in hose nozzles, and is designed particularly for the purpose of providing a device of this character by means of which the water passing through the nozzle may be caused to emerge from the mouth of the nozzle in a solid stream and continue in this state for a considerable distance after leaving the nozzle, in order to throw the water as far as possible before it begins to break into spray.

The above purpose is accomplished by means of a peculiar formation of the nozzle, or of one portion of its wall, as will be hereinafter fully described.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of my invention con structed according to the best mode I have so far devised for the practical application of the principles of my invention.

Figure l is a side elevation of a nozzle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the nozzle. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 on line 3-3. Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line 44 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 5 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6-is a sectional view showing a modified form of my invention. Fig. 7 is another sectional view showing a further modification of the invention.

The preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the drawings, and the metal nozzle 1 is of usual tapering shape with the customary nut portion 2 at the proximal end, and the mouth portion 3 at the distal end.

In one side of the nozzle and occupying a space extending longitudinally between the proximal end and the center of the nozzle, the wall is recessed as at a and the mate rial of the wall is pressed, stamped or cast so that it projects into the interior of the nozzle and forms an annular cross sectional space 5 similar to that shown in Fig. 4. The upper and lower portions of this space are formed by the horizontally disposed portions 6, 6, of the wall and it will. be seen that the outer recess 4: and the annular space 5 extend longitudinally of the nozzle, the walls merging gradually into the outline of the nozzle at both ends of the depression.

In Figs. 6 and 7 respectively the spaces 5 and 5 of the nozzles 1 and 1 are each modified somewhat from the space 5 shown in Fig. 4. It will be also evident that the shape of the nozzle 1 at line 55 in Fig. 1 may be changed to an ellipse for instance. In any event, when water is brought together or converged from opposite sides and passes through the tube of the nozzle, the water is held in a solid stream longer than in the old form of nozzles.

What I claim is A hose nozzle comprising a tapering barrel having a depression in its outer Wall extending beyond its axial center at its maxi mum depth in a generally longitudinal direction, and spaced from the discharge end of the nozzle so that the final discharge is in the form of a solid stream circular in cross section.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
